Realme ends smartwatch hiatus with new Watch 5

Realme has made a notable return to the smartwatch market once again with the launch of the Realme Watch 5. And this new addition features quite a sleek design touch, good performance, and a wide range of features. To learn more, now let's jump in this article, where i will discuss everything about the latest Realme Watch 5, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Realme Watch 5 Overview

Display and Design

Assuming Realme's numbers hold up in real-world use, the display you are getting here is really decent. The Watch 5 gets a 1.97-inch AMOLED panel that hits 600 nits of brightness. There's Panda Glass on top for scratch protection, which is better than the cheap plastic you get at this range.

Realme went with a metal unibody design this time, and there's also a functional rotating crown on the side for navigation. To not let you get stuck with the default straps, Realme has made the standard 22mm straps removable. It comes in four colors: Titanium Black, Titanium Silver, Mint Blue, and Vibrant Orange—though calling them "titanium" is pure marketing since there's no actual titanium here.

Health and Fitness Tracking

You get the usual sports modes that you can find in most smartwatches, which by the way are way more excessive than they need to be when most people use like five sport modes, and in that suite Realme has provided 108+. What's actually useful here is the VO2 Max estimation and auto workout detection, where the watch just figures out when you're exercising instead of making you manually punch in a session every single time.

For health tracking, you get the basics people actually care about without any additional bells and whistles. I am talking about the usual sleep tracking, SpO2 monitoring for blood oxygen, and women's health insights. The device is also IP68 rated.

Bluetooth calling is also included, whereas, there's also NFC support for payments and access control. Moreover, among other usual stuff, Realme has also included customizable watch faces. 

Battery Life

Now, finally getting into the battery, Realme here claims that the 460mAh battery  it comes with will lasts up to 16 days under “standard use.” Flip on the Light Mode and they say it hits 20 days. But realistically, you're looking at maybe 10-12 days with actual daily use.
